FIXME: Ports to new architectures involve New ports involve modifying core parts of Wine:
synchronization, exception handling, thread management, etc.
After such modifications extensive testing is necessary to
make sure the changes did not To check the correctness of new ports.
Conformance tests will also come in handy when testing Wine on
new (or not as widely used) architectures such as FreeBSD,
Solaris x86 or even non-x86 systems. Even when the port does
not involve any significant change in the thread management,
exception handling or other low-level aspects of Wine, new
architectures can expose subtle bugs that can be hard to
diagnose when debugging regular (complex) applications.
